A Change.org petition had accrued over a 1.7 million signatures as of Friday morning, crying foul over the 17-year-old’s win over South Korea’s Yuna Kim. The petition, titled “Open Investigation in Judging Decisions of Women’s Figure Skating and Demand Rejudgement at the Sochi Olympics,” alleges corruption among the judges panel.

“Yuna Kim, she skated and her performance can be shown through what the CBC commenters said ‘this woman has no equal’,” the petition read. “She did show tiny unstable landing in one of her jumps, but relative to the stumble shown by Sotnikova, it was not as visible and she carried on with superb acting performance.”

Following the short program and free skating, Kim got the silver medal with 219.11 points while Sotnikova got the gold with 224.59. Journalists called the win an “upset” while others reported insiders had questions about the Sochi gold judging.

USA Today reports one of the nine judges who picked Sotnikova was suspended for a year for trying to fix an event at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.

“It’s sad that I just presumed Sotnikova was going to get a boost (in points) because this was in Russia,” former U.S. Olympic figure skating coach Audrey Weisiger told USA Today. “Isn’t it sad that I automatically thought that? Not one person in skating I’ve talked to said that’s the way it should have gone.”
